Cover of today's StarTribune (Greenland article at bottom), from the top down:

  • Our community is in crisis
  • Rumors, anxiety spread beyond the Twin Cities
  • Citizens sue, seek ruling to rein in agents' tactics
  • DHS' Minnesota presence dwarfs largest metro police forces
  • Review: No widespread illegal voting by migrants
  • Trump cheers protesters in Iran, but not Minnesota

"I have never heard anyone express concern about what ICE is doing."

"heard" and "express concern" commonly do a lot of heavy lifting in anecdata:

  • Include or exclude social media comments from friends?
  • Only include people who have spoken to you directly?
  • Speak often or infrequently to others?
  • Include or exclude content that you have seen that you trust?
  • Are part of a large/small circle of family/friends?
  • Concern or only experience causing concern? 
  • General opinion or on specific available information?
  • etc., etc.

Without being more specific, "heard" and "express concern" don't mean much, and with specific qualification, are easily manipulated.

I also live just outside of Minneapolis. I have white-appearance family members whose heritage traces literally back to the Mayflower that have been harrassed while working from home, and literally dozens of others expressing concern due to those in their circle being harassed, and many others expressing concern due to viewing media that they trust.

In thinking just now, it's hard to think of anyone not expressing concern, on "both sides", partly because I am hearing expressions on the topic from a tremendous number of persons.
